Not an easy approach by any estimation but the hardest part was aligning with the runway. If the winds are too high you run out of rudder. That’s why every aircraft has a published maximum crosswind component. That’s why he quickly planted the bird on the runway as soon as he lined up. That’s what he was trained to do, and did it well.
